Robot Party

I loved that our kids were raised in the mission field. Going to a high school where you are only one of a few mormon kids gave my kids lots of opportunities to share the gospel, teach about our religion and bear their testimonies. Being a member of the church made them different and they stood out in the crowd. And even though it was hard at times, I would say that my kids enjoyed being set apart because of their membership in the church.

We always sent them to EFY and while they liked being different at home, during that week, they loved being with so many others that believed the same way that they did. I loved that they were supported in the righteous decisions that they were making in their lives. One time when I went to pick them up, on the cement was written "We LOVE modest girls!" How great to be supported and be told that LDS boys don't like it when girls wear spaghetti strap dresses and that "Modest is the Hottest!"

As they got older and it was nearing the time to go to college, they couldn't wait to attend a church college where they could be surrounded with others who believed as they did just like EFY.

Which brings me to these pictures! My youngest daughter is attending BYU in Provo and last semester someone in her apartment complex had an 80's party and everyone came dressed up from the 1980's. This semester, they had a robot party!! My daughter is in the silver costume and her roomate is in the gold. How grateful I am for these wonderful church colleges where these young adults can have some good clean fun!

She is such a beauty! I love the pictures too- it takes me back to those days. It's so important for her to have all the fun now that she can. There are those days when I feel so tied down with the kids etc. that it's nice to remember those days and know I made the most of them.

Happy dance I am doing reading while post your. I never did learn to do the robot but these girls are darling. I'm with you--it is a great blessing for these kids to be somewhere they are supported for their righteous choices. I missed the deadline for registering Kelly for EFY--I have never done that in 6 years--hoping I can get her in on the general enrollment.

HI! I think it is great to see strong kid having good clean fun. This is wonderful. Love the modest costumes. It is so hard to shop for my 15 year old. She wants to be modest but there is little choice for her. Do you know what I mean? M

Your daughter is beautiful and i love the costume. Those sorts of parties are best,clean FUN!

Now,for the question I may not want the answer to. How bad is tuition? It's not looking like my daughter will be getting a scholarship but I so badly want her to go there. She'll be a senior next year so I have a tiny bit of time to figure out how to make it work.

Deb I totally agree!! Growing up in Wrightwood was awesome!! wow Brooke is Gorgeous! I am sure you come and visit so next time you do I would love to see you and your girls! I just live in south jordan so not too far! :)

Hey McEwen Family! I love your blog! It is so funny! I would definitely choose Bob as well because he is softer. Brandon and I are still waiting for an official offer from this company before we can give you an official answer as to renting the house. We are still really interested, we just can't say a definite yes until we get a written offer. We have a meeting with them on the 13th and 14th of February where they promised we would get a written offer so we will let you know as soon as we do. THANKS!!!
